Thanks Sam,
I was testing the IMAP functionalities on Outlook 2007/2010, altough a worst
product to test on but most of our clients uses it. And in most of the cases
the sync is not perfect so was wondering if by any chance Server can notify the
client.
Thanks and Regards,
Anshul Gupta

Yes, but it is the client's responsibility to ask the server to be notified
of this event. If the IMAP client does not implement this functionality, the
server cannot force the IMAP client to do anything.

No. IMAP provides no mechanism for a server to notify the client about new
or removed folders. The IMAP client must explicitly refresh its list of
folders on the server.

This is the notification mechanism for changes to the contents of the
folder. However, you can implement it all you want, but if the IMAP client
does not implement it itself, there's nothing that you can do about it.
